Soon-to-be: Versa Gripps on black friday 

I’ve dealt with a slight tendinitis and was recommend these things meant for, essentially, enhancing grip.  They’re ordinary $80. Not crazy expensive but knock offs are $10 on Amazon and as a macho dumbass who lifts without straps or support, I was hesitant to go all in. So I got the cheap pair. They’re incredible. Feels like there’s a direct link from weight to muscle in a way I haven’t fully felt with pulling movements, with no pain or tension. It’s also revealing how shite my grip is and something to work on when recovered. My gym tops out at 50kg dumbbells, but even with those my grip gave out on rows. Now it feels like I’m failing when my back is failing. It’s great.

tl;dr: if the cheap fake Chinese brand versions are this good, I’m gonna upgrade to the proper USA ones.
